The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2019 99% · 2020 100% · 2021 99% · 2022 99% · 2023 100% · 2024 97% · 2025 92%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of DEMOCRACY PREP TEXAS’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (48% for the typical peer).

93% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund DEMOCRACY PREP TEXAS.
